It"™s all change at the top as local man from Thame who dedicates his spare time to volunteering and fundraising in the local community takes up the reins as President of Rotary Club of Thame.

Peter Hook, was
welcomed as the new President of Rotary Club of Thame on 1st July
at the Spread Eagle Hotel of Thame and took over from Linda Emery who became
Deputy Mayor of Thame earlier this year. During her term as President of the
club, Linda has inspired the local community to raise just over £7,000 for
various good causes including Thame Skate Park, TCC2 and Cuttle Brook Volunteers.

Peter has been a
Rotarian for 16 years and his commitment to the club has earned the
respect of fellow members who were only too pleased to vote him in as their new
President for the forthcoming year.

Peter said: “I
am delighted to become the new President of our wonderful club. It’s going to
be a very exciting year. We’re hoping to try out a lot of new things and are
looking for inspired and enthusiastic men and women to join our club. We have a
lot of fun and really enjoy ourselves, on top of all the fundraising we do, and
would love to hear from anyone interested in joining us and making a real
difference to their community.

“This year, we are
planning to do continue with our traditional annual fundraising events Thame
Art Show at the end of October and Thame Swimathon on 28 February which I know
will have the whole community joining in and having a great time. I am looking
forward to meeting and working with local groups and really getting people
involved with Rotary. There is so much to do and enjoy.”
